This pancake recipe was fantastic. Definitely superior to a store-bought mix, although I wanted to trim some of the fat. I make them with nonfat milk, egg whites in place of whole eggs, and less butter. In addition to being delicious and fluffy, I feel fantastic about serving them to my family.

Great hearty pancakes! I included the egg yolks and used whole milk. I’ve been gathering maple syrups from small farms and used this recipe to try em all out!
it has too much bitter after taste!
Substituted 1/2 tbsp honey for sugar (healthier), used slightly less salt, slightly less milk (honey adds liquid, so reduce other liquids). Would make again. 🙂
horrible
Not even close to good pancakes. I was hoping this recipe would be a good healthier substitute from our traditional ones I make from scratch but they just don’t compare. They were not terrible but I won’t be making them again.
Just made this a few hours ago, and I ended up tweaking a few things to make it actually healthy. For instance I used whole wheat flour instead, added cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice, vanilla, and instead of using real butter I used smart balance. All in all it was pretty good. I want to remake this using buckwheat flour next time.
Very easy and very tasty
It was delicious and very filling, first time I make or even have pancakes, I halved the recipe and substituted the butter with 1 tsp olive oil, dressed them with unsweetened strawberry jam. Next time will probably mix the jam with a tsp of honey or a zero cal sweetener.
Thick mixture but makes awesome pancakes! note the pancakes are a bit small!
Delicious
Yummy, however, very dense.
I loved this recipe. I made a double portion, two whole eggs and two whites. Also substituted the butter with coconut oil. For flour I used all white whole wheat. Pancakes came out fluffy and delicious but with a real hearty feel to them. Kids and adults all loved them.
Followed recipe and the batter was too liquid to form pancakes. I had to add almost a full cup of flour to make it thick enough to cook.
This is my go-to healthier pancake recipe. I have made it as is, and they’re delicious and fluffy. We usually substitute almond milk for dairy milk with success. We have also tried variations with coconut oil in place of butter and coconut sugar in place of white sugar. We typically add about a teaspoon of vanilla.
I didn’t like this recipe much… There was way too much baking soda.
“Healthier” is a stretch, but they were delicious when I used the whole egg (leaving out the yolk is not necessarily healthier) and Stevia instead of sugar.
Way too salty
We added bananas and walnuts and these were delicious!! Who needs a box mix?
Added cinnamon and vanilla. Used water because I was low on milk. Kids loved them.
This isn’t a very “healthy” version but substitute WHOLE WHEAT PASTRY FLOUR 100% for the all purpose baking flour and you have a winner. I even substituted egg substitute for the egg, also use a little less liquid than called for to make fluffy pancakes. Works great.
I followed the recipe with the exception of adding a splash of vanilla. They had a strong flour taste but looked good. Next time I will modify them by adding cinnamon and brown sugar. Good base recipe.
